Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98664)
Summary
Vulnerability in Linux kernel (CVE-2026-98664). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: imu: adis16400: fix unprotected debugfs reads
adis16400_serial_number_fops is open coded and never calls
debugfs_file_get(), so debugfs_remove_recursive() does not wait for a
read in progress and unbind frees the iio_dev underneath it.
Commit ae1d37a9bb4b ("iio: imu: adis16400: use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE
instead of DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE") converted product_id and
flash_count to DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE, which protects itself, but
moved all three files to debugfs_create_file_unsafe().
serial_number prints three registers as "%.4x-%.4x-%.4x" and
DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() formats a single u64, so it cannot be
converted without changing what the file returns. adis16475 and
adis16550 already use debugfs_create_file() for their open coded
files. Use it here too.
